The South Shore Brewery still operates as part of the Deep Water Grille and the Alley (try the Nut Brown Ale). The Black Cat is interesting. The 2nd Street Bistro is great. The colors this fall can take your breath away in person and the colors of the lake change each day also. I am blessed to live here. Even in the winter!benoithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09139072402608109684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1159929033104981972006-10-03T21:30:00.000-05:002006-10-03T21:30:00.000-05:00Across the street from the King County Courthouse ...Across the street from the King County Courthouse in Seattle, there once was a bar called the Court House. Later on, there was another (in a different location) called the Kort Haus. The former had brass gavels for door handles.Bleeplesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10209516307980086879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1159913676242109082006-10-03T17:14:00.000-05:002006-10-03T17:14:00.000-05:00And I spent a lot of time in the bar across the st...And I spent a lot of time in the bar across the street from our hospital called....wait for it.

Cars nearly always detract from the picture, and so do many people, but people aren't volunteering to be photographed so I don't like to intrude on them. Sometimes you see them from the back or at a distance in my pictures, but unless they are making a spectacle of themselves, I try not to use photos that show people's faces distinctly.Ann Althousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1159889203084315542006-10-03T10:26:00.000-05:002006-10-03T10:26:00.000-05:00Is it really that deserted, or did the people just...Is it really that deserted, or did the people just not make it into the frame?

Ashland's too far for this Illinoisan, but one of my favorite fall trips was to Lacrosse -- Oktoberfest parade, good food, great views from the towering hill over the city.PD Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07985957978127790121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1159888084207135162006-10-03T10:08:00.000-05:002006-10-03T10:08:00.000-05:00The South Shore Brewery is a decent brewpub on Mai...The South Shore Brewery is a decent brewpub on Main Street.

I can just imagine this conversation taking place many times at semester's end: "I have no idea why I flunked three classes this semester, Mom and Dad; I spent every night at The LIbrary, I promise!"Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14416228118563186319noreply@blogger.com
